Program Description
The School of Arts and Creative Industries has a major commitment to scholarship and research. LSBU recognises its significance in underpinning course provision, particularly at postgraduate level, and in developing enterprise and knowledge transfer with the media, arts and creative sectors.
All research students are enrolled in the LSBU’s postgraduate Key Skills programme. In addition, students can undertake research methods training from relevant MA and MSc courses, as well as taking part in specialist events and activities, which ensure an inclusive and thriving research culture.
LSBU's applied research tackles real-world issues and encompasses a wide variety of methodologies and approaches, including practice-based research, empirical work on audiences and texts, and theory-driven analysis.
